Egg Potato Chops

Potato is all time favourite vegetable in my family. I cook it as vegetable, i add it to gravies and make snacks also. I wanted to try something new and simple for the event Ode-to-Potato organized by Sia of Monsoonspice (here). This recipe is simple, faster and simply delicious! That's verdict from my H. The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:

1 big potato

4 eggs

salt to taste

Oil for frying

Rava/Semolina for coating

Method:

Boil the potato and mash nicely. let it cool nicely.

Hard boil 3 eggs, remove shells and cut into halves.

Take the potato mash in the hand and keep the egg half in between and shape it into a ball.

Beat one egg, roll the balls in this mixture, coat with the rawa. Shallow fry these balls in little oil. The Potato chops are ready. Serve them with tomato ketchup or chutney.
